Chapter 1830 Save the ignorant (wish everyone a happy New Year 2020)
In the high mountain fortress, the old man looked at Xu Zhi, who had a solemn expression, with a half-smile but not a smile.
As for Gu Yuxi behind Xu Zhi, he glanced twice and then looked away.
"Are you spying on me from the sky?"
"You can say yes, you can say no."
The old man neither denied nor admitted it, but at least it had some connection with him.
Seeing the big shots behind the scenes in the ruins so early made Xu Zhi feel a bit premature.
If we are stuck at the end of the ruins, it doesn't matter if we all fight.
But now, it would be good for both sides to make peace.
With the confidence of 'anti-demon' magic, Xu Zhi felt that he was not afraid of the opponent. If the two sides fought, he would most likely have the upper hand.
But the other party is obviously trying to play the Void Gold Coin trick. Killing such immortals is of no use, and stimulating conflicts prematurely will cause some troubles.
"As long as you have no ill will towards us, we will not have any ill will towards you. Moreover, my goal is just money. I can feel that you are very noble. You must have a lot of money, a lot of money."
The old man took a deep breath through his nose, as if he smelled the most beautiful smell in the world.
His ability is very close to Zhuang Baiqiu.
"This is one of the few joys now. You know, the world is too boring, too boring, too empty, too lonely, too cold. Only money can warm people's hearts and make life meaningful."
"As long as you can afford it, don't worry that I can't do it."
"It's fair to exchange money for strength."
"Maybe you have doubts about my strength, please take a look."
The old man shook his body, and when he stretched out his hand, he took out a book.
"Would you like me to read it for you? These are our past operation records."
"please."
Xu Zhi stretched out his hand to signal, and his eyes also turned to the book that the old man took out.
""Record of the Rescue of Fools, Volume One""
The cover of the book is not friendly and full of contempt.
The old man did not read the title of the operation record. He spread out the first page and began to read.
"On April 15th of the third year of the Brakada Calendar, a god and monster with limited intelligence paid for help worth the equivalent of five hundred gold coins and successfully mastered six advanced magics, including the top magic mirror and prayer."
"On July 23rd of the eighth year of the Brakada Calendar, a stupid monster paid two thousand gold coins and wanted to learn how to effectively avoid injury when being beaten. Her body matched the characteristics, so we fulfilled her wish." Note: The name of the monster: Nila] [Small note: People who go out and become famous must record their names. This can make the reputation of our mountain fortress organization more famous.]"
"On July 24th of the eighth year of the Brakada calendar, a low-level, bored and money-hungry little goblin wanted to learn to throw. He was so pitiful. We let him learn to throw for free, but he was still as weak as ever. Listen. He said he was beaten to death by the same kind of people on the third day after he returned."
…
"On June 6, the fifty-seventh year of the Braka Calendar, a whimsical monster who wanted to control thunder and lightning paid 10,000 gold coins. This was a very difficult order, but the Gaoshan Organization is never afraid of difficulties, so we accepted the order. [Note: This monster named Somra later did well and became a confidant of King Gwen Magnus]."
…
Xu Zhi was quite surprised to find some remarkable contents in "Record of the Rescue of Fools, Volume 1".
The old man just read some records selectively, but this did not prevent him from understanding the records in this book.
To Xu Zhi's surprise, he discovered Somra's records.
There are many people who have the same name, but it is obviously impossible for them to have the same name as a kingdom ruler.
Somra should know about this organization called Mountain Fortress.
"I'll think about it and get back to you after I think it through."
The old man was good at peering into people's hearts. After Xu Zhi adjusted his condition, he also showed a slightly agitated and slightly contradictory expression.
This situation, which seemed like the business was about to be started, made the old man very satisfied.
"We still have many volumes. You see, this one is about humans, this one is about devils, these are the reptiles in the swamp, there are dragons, phoenixes, angels..."
While the old man was mumbling, Xu Zhi had already told Gu Yuxi a few words, and his mind escaped into the elemental world.
"Alpine fortress, aren't all those vampires dead yet?"
"There is no doubt that that whimsical monster is me. They stripped me of all my gold coins and wrote me an IOU, the kind with compound interest. I worked as a killer for many years before I could pay off the money I borrowed from there.
debt."
The vampire Somra mentioned was not a vampire race, but just an alternative name for the mountain fortress organization's ability to exploit gold coins.
The mountain fortress allowed him to master some rare abilities, but it also burdened him with heavy debts.
"Although they are well-educated, knowledgeable, and capable, their fees are twice or even several times more expensive than colleges in big cities. It's a big deal when they take credit, and they will almost be cheated to death."
"The location set up by the Alpine Fortress organization is extremely remote. I heard that they ended up in the Dragon Continent across the sea. To get there, you need to go through several portals. The cost of time and money on the way is very high, and the road is also very dangerous. It will be very difficult to get there if you don't learn.
It’s a shame, it’s a shame to learn from it.”
"The Freelancers Association is also very shady. They are very ruthless in the slave and resource trade."
"I heard that the rich Erni from your Brakada Kingdom controls the Freelancers Association behind the scenes?"
Somra said a few words, and Sandro also intervened.
During the heated discussion between the two, Xu Zhi also understood the general situation.
The Alpine Fortress organization charges a lot of money and has a good reputation. The only problem is that there is a certain chance that they will fail to assist in the promotion. After collecting the money, the matter will not be completed. Of course, the money that goes into their pockets cannot be refunded.
As for the Freelancer Association mentioned by Sandro, sometimes they do some shady things and do not have a certain amount of power and capital. When dealing with them, they will be eaten to the bone.
"Who is that old man? Do you know him?"
Xu Zhi drew a sketch of the other party casually, and saw Somra and Sandru shaking their heads, expressing that they had no impression of this kind of person.
The two of them had been imprisoned for too long, and they had no idea about the characters that had emerged during these more than a thousand years.
If they were people from a thousand years ago, and they did not grow old together with each other, it would be difficult to know their identities based on just a sketch.
"You can retrieve the charging records of past Alpine Fortress organizations from the Immortal Space. It is right to spend money with them. Alpine Fortress can believe that this is indeed a holy place where you can enhance your personal strength and thoroughly explore your talents."
Somra's words reassured Xu Zhi.
As long as the other party has no problem and is willing to accept gold coins, he has a lot of gold coins, so there is no problem in using some.
"You might as well find me. I can do this kind of work. You didn't believe me at all at first," Sandro said angrily.
"Your reputation is too bad and you are always doing dirty tricks. It is impossible to have customers," Xu Zhi said with a smile.
"You, you, you, if you do your job well, I can still blackmail you. I am too lazy to go to your unfriendly world. I have no interests at all."
Recalling that time, Sandro was trembling with anger.
Fortunately, he escaped from that ghost prison. Although the direction of his escape was a bit wrong, as the elemental tide approached one day, he was one day closer to his destination.
Xu Zhi didn't want to bother with this old lich who had a grudge, so he confirmed the information. He understood the situation in his heart and got back into the ruins from the elemental world.
"How much does it cost?" Xu Zhi asked the old man.
The old man has a long list, and the charges vary. If Somla's charging standards were used, it would take him three days to get the gold coins back and forth.
"Your alien talent has been basically finalized. It can only be extended or enhanced, and the probability of the talent is not suitable for triggering new abilities. Her improvement requires 2,500 void gold coins, and your improvement requires 10,000 void gold coins."
"Give me money, and I will definitely give you a stable and reliable talent."
The old man's face lit up with joy. He pointed at Gu Yuxi and then at Xu Zhi, and reported each other's prices respectively.
"It will cost a total of 1.25 million gold coins, which means we have too much money. We can use this money to buy a lot of treasures to improve our strength. This is not cost-effective."
Thinking of Somra's words about the vampire, "It will be a loss if you don't learn there, and you will be a loss if you learn it." Xu Zhi thought deeply.
"This is a fundamental improvement of the body's strength. It is a fair exchange of value for money. It is difficult to find another organization in the world that is as educated as ours. Even you strangers can serve, and the price is impossible."
The price has been negotiated, but I can send you a message for free."
"what news?"
Aware of Xu Zhi's hesitation, the old man stroked his beard and began to actively solicit customers.
His face shivered for a while, and he looked like he had suffered a big loss.
"Then you have to ask. If you don't ask, how will I know what news you want?" The old man said with a toothache.
"Let me ask a simple question, what is your immortal real name?" Xu Zhi said with a smile.
